Hemolytic anemia is only one aspect of the damage overvaccinating and "7 way" and "8 way" shotscause! There are multiple immune-related diseases shown by Purdue research to be caused or aggravated by vaccines.Sadly, there are no effective alternatives yet to these harmful vaccines. The sickness and death they sometimes cause is still preferable to death bydistemper or parvo. Be informed and keep harm to a minimum by:

Reminiscences of America's Children in the 1930s as Compared with Today, and the Possible Role of Vaccines in Causing Retrogressive Changes

(Written in Support of "Vaccination News" and its donationprogram) Harold Buttram, M.D.

As one of today's senior citizens who grew up in a Midwestern state in the1930s, and as a doctor who has treated many children, I may have a specialtaken place in the health of America's children since the relativelyinnocent times of the 1930s. At summer camps in the New Mexico Mountainsthat I was fortunate to attend, no boy had allergies, none was onmedication, and no boy was ever sick with the common ailments of today. Itwas much the same in schools. I don't recall ever seeing a child with easilyrecognized behaviors now described as hyperactivity (ADHD) or autism.Today in stark contrast, approximately one third of ouryoungsters are afflicted with the 4-A Disorders (Autism, ADHD, Asthma, andAllergies), as described and documented by Dr. Kenneth Bock.(1) Schoolbudgets are being strained to the breaking points in providing specialeducation classes for autistic and learning disabled children. Allergyproblems are proliferating, as indicated by long lines of children at schoolnursing stations for their noontime medications.Could today's infant and childhood vaccine programs, with theirsteadily increasing numbers of vaccines, be a contributory cause of thisominous health trend? As reflected in the U.S. Congressional Hearings (1999to Dec., 2004) on issues of vaccine safety, in which major deficiencies invaccine safety testing were disclosed, it is a real possibility thatvaccines may be one of the major, if not the major cause of this trend.(2)Epidemiologic surveys from four widely separated geographicareas found that fully vaccinated children had significantly more allergicdisorders than those with limited or no vaccines.(3-6)Although public health officials remain in denial about a causal relationbetween the mercurial vaccine preservative, Thimerosal, and the currentepidemic of autism, the facts remain irrefutable. Thimerosal has now beenremoved from most vaccines, but in the 1990s, when the incidence ofchildhood autism peaked, infants commonly received up to 100-times the safedose of mercury (according to current EPA and FDA standards) at 2 monthsage, again at 4 months, and again at 6 months.(7)Although Thimerosal has been largely removed from vaccines (withexception of some flu and most tetanus booster vaccines), new cases ofautism are still emerging. The probable reason may be the ever-increasingnumber of vaccines given during infancy.(8) From the standpoint of infants'immune systems, giving seven or eight vaccines together on three separateoccasions during infancy might be comparable with the infants' immunesystems being faced with seven or eight diseases at the same time. There islittle wonder that their immune as well as nervous systems commonly runamuck under such challenges.A survey commissioned by Generation Rescue compared vaccinated andunvaccinated in nine counties in Oregon and California. Among more than9,000 boys age 4-17, the survey found vaccinated boys were two and a halftimes (155%) more likely to have neurological disorders than theirunvaccinated peers. For older vaccinated boys in the 11-17 age bracket, theresults were even more pronounced, with 158% more likely to haveneurological disorders, 317% more likely to have ADHD, and 112% more likelyto have autism.(9)According to this observer, it appears that we are undergoing anunprecedented national tragedy with no end in sight. How could this possiblybe happening?To answer this question I will cite two little-noted studies published manyyears ago. The first was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in1984.(10) In this study a significant though temporary drop of T-helperlymphocytes was found in 11 healthy adults following routine tetanus boostervaccinations. Special concern rests in the fact that in four of the elevensubjects their T-lymphocytes fell to levels seen in active AIDS patients. Ifthis was the result of a single vaccine in healthy adults, it is sobering tothink of possible consequences from today's multiple vaccines routinelyadministered to infants. And yet, to the best of my knowledge, this studyhas never been repeated. In a similar fashion A.L.Low (Chicago, 1955)performed before and after EEGs on 83 children before and after pertussisimmunization.(11) In two of these children he found abnormal EEGs withoutother signs or symptoms of abnormal reactions.These two studies, showing clear evidence that significant immunologic andneurological consequences can take place even with single vaccines, do notconstitute proof of harm from vaccines, but they are important clues. Whatthey do prove is an ongoing pattern of negligence of many years in followingup on these and other similar studies.Almost totally lacking until now, the great need is for definitivebefore-and-after tests specifically designed to search for possible adverseeffects of vaccines on the neurological and immune systems as well asgenetics of our children, and in finding adverse effects, to makeappropriate safety modifications in vaccine programs. Based on personalexperience, alerting authorities to this need has been like trying to starta fire with wet kindling. Yet our very survival as a society may be involvedin this specific issueIn my opinion, the time is long overdue for a total rethinking andredirecting of current childhood vaccine programs. Until the safety of suchprograms can be assured by thorough and dependable safety testing, anyfurther mandating of childhood vaccines will remain morally and ethicallyuntenable.Harold Buttram, MD, FAACPReferences(1) Bock, Kenneth and Stauth, Cameron.

Vaccine-associated immune-mediated hemolytic anemia in the dog.Duval D, Giger U.Department of Clinical Studies, School of Veterinary Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia 19104-6010, USA.

Vaccination has been incriminated as a trigger of immune-mediated hemolytic anemia(IMHA) in dogs and in people, but evidence to support this association has been lacking. In a controlled retrospective study, idiopathic IMHA was identified in 58 dogs over a 27-month period. When compared with a randomly selected control group of 70 dogs (presented for reasons other than IMHA) over the same period, the distribution of cases versus time since vaccination was different (P < .05). Fifteen of the dogs (26%) had been vaccinated within 1 month (mean, 13 days; median, 14 days; range, 1 to 27 days) of developing IMHA (P < .0001), whereas in the control group no marked increase in frequency of presentation was seen in the first month after vaccination. The dogs with IMHA were divided into 2 groups based on time since vaccination: the vaccine IMHA group included dogs vaccinated within 1 month of developing IMHA; the nonvaccine IMHA group included dogs that developed IMHA more than 1 month after vaccination. The recently vaccinated dogs with IMHA (vaccine IMHA group) had significantly lower platelet counts (P < .05) and a trend towards increased prevalence of intravascular hemolysis and autoagglutination when compared with the nonvaccine IMHA group. Similar mortality rates were seen in teh vaccine IMHA group (60%) and the nonvaccine IMHA group (44%), with the majority of fatalities (> 75%) occurring in the first 3 weeks after presentation. Persistent autoagglutination was a negative prognostic indicator for survival in both groups (P < .05). Presence of icterus and hyperbilirubinemia were negative prognostic indicators for survival in the nonvaccine IMHA group (P < .0001 and P < .01, respectively) but not in the vaccine IMHA group. In the recently vaccinated dogs, combination vaccines from various manufacturers against canine distemper, adenovirus type 2, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, and parvovirus (DHLPP) were involved in each case. Vaccines against rabies virus, Bordetella spp, coronavirus, and Lyme Borrelia were administrated concomitantly to some dogs. This study provides the first clinical evidence for a temporal relationship of vaccine-associated IMHA in the dog.More Vaccine Info!PMID: 8884713 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
